Here’s how to register your baby online.
Register your Baby...this part’s free!!
Prepare ID documents for both parentsBefore going online, you’ll first need to have three forms of ID for each parent.
You need one from each Category: 1, 2 and 3. If you’re unable to provide ID
from Categories 1 and 2, you must still provide at least three forms of ID.
At least two of these must be from Category 3 and one can be from Category 4.
If you don’t have these documents, please contact us on 13 77 88 for help.
Scan or take a photo of each document and save the image files to a location on your computer or mobile
device where you can find them easily. It’s also a handy tip to name each file so you can identify which ones
are which. The files can be JPEG, TIFF or PDF (max. file size: 4MB each). Please make sure they’re clearly readable!
CATEGORY 1
If you were born in Australia:
• An Australian Birth Certificate
Or record of immigration status:
• Citizenship Certificate
• New Zealand citizenship certificate
• New Zealand birth certificate
CATEGORY 2
• Australian driver licence
• Australian passport
• Firearms licence
• Foreign passport
• Proof of age card
CATEGORY 3
• Medicare card
• Centrelink or
Department of Veterans Affairs card
• Security guard/Crowd control licence
• Tertiary education institution ID card
CATEGORY 4 • Utility account with current residential address issued within last three months
IDENTIFICATION DOCUMENTS
It’s important you register your baby - the hospital doesn’t do this for you! If you don’t register your baby, you may not be able
to apply for certain Centrelink benefits like
Parental Leave. Also, if your child’s birth isn’t registered,
you won’t be able to get a birth certificate for them.
This means your child won’t be able to enrol in school
or sport, get a passport, or when they’re older, get a driver’s
licence, a job, a Tax File Number or open a bank account.
IT USUALLY TAKES ABOUT 20 MINUTES

Check everything’s correctYou’ll also need to ask the other parent to check their details
are correct (by ticking the appropriate box). It’s important that
both parents check and certify the information.
Read the checklist below, then go to www.bdm.nsw.gov.au/newborn
and complete the online form. The online form works with most browsers.
If you can’t get it to work on yours, try another one like Google Chrome or
Safari. We know how busy you can be, so you don’t have to complete the form
in one go - once you’ve filled in the first page you can come back to the form
later. Just use the reference number in the email that we’ll send you,
and when you’re less busy you can carry on where you left off.
Make sure you’ve agreed on the baby’s name!This is important because if you change your
mind later, you’ll need to pay to change it.
Hit ‘submit’ Once you’ve finished the registration part, you can choose
to order a birth certificate at the same time if you wish (see back page).
* You can find this in the Blue Book given to you by the hospital.

HOW DO I ORDER A BIRTH CERTIFICATE?
It’s all in the same online process. Once you’ve registered your baby, you can
choose to order a birth certificate as well, or order one later, if you wish.
WHY ORDER A BIRTH CERTIFICATE AT THE SAME TIME?
Doing it now will save you time later.
WHAT KIND OF BIRTH CERTIFICATES ARE THERE?
The standard birth certificate (shown right) costs $60* including postageand handling. It’s the official document proving your child’s identity.
Commemorative certificates (see below) - Why not celebrate the birth of your beautiful baby with one of our great
looking commemorative birth certificates as well? These cost an additional $27* and are a perfect size for framing (279mm x 355mm). You can choose your favourite commemorative from a range of designs when you go online. Just be aware that
the commemorative certificates don’t have the same security features as the standard version, so they may not be accepted
by organisations as proof of identity. Commemoratives are sent separately from the standard certificate.
* Price correct at time of printing and subject to change without notice.
